The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — I, land — and what happens in the verse to hand, wilderness, elders, land, beauty, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 48 chapters of Ezekiel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְגַם־אֲנִ֗י נָשָׂ֧אתִי יָדִ֛י לָהֶ֖ם בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר לְבִלְתִּי֩ הָבִ֨יא אוֹתָ֜ם אֶל־הָאָ֣רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֗תִּי זָבַ֤ת חָלָב֙ וּדְבַ֔שׁ צְבִ֥י הִ֖יא לְכָל־הָאֲרָצֽוֹת׃ [Yet also I lifted up My hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the beauty of all lands;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.469/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:EZK:445 # text = וְגַם־אֲנִ֗י נָשָׂ֧אתִי יָדִ֛י לָהֶ֖ם בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר לְבִלְתִּי֩ הָבִ֨יא אוֹתָ֜ם אֶל־הָאָ֣רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֗תִּי זָבַ֤ת חָלָב֙ וּדְבַ֔שׁ צְבִ֥י הִ֖יא לְכָל־הָאֲרָצֽוֹת׃ # verse = EZK.20.15 1-2 וְגַם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_20:15!1|MId=o260200150011|Strong=2050b 2 גַם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=EZK_20:15!1|MId=o260200150012|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 3 אֲנִ֗י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=EZK_20:15!2|MId=o260200150021|Strong=0589|Type=personal 4 נָשָׂ֧אתִי נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.lifted.up|Ref=EZK_20:15!3|MId=o260200150031|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:260200150021;A1:260200150041;|Type=qatal 5-6 יָדִ֛י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=hand|Ref=EZK_20:15!4|MId=o260200150041|Strong=3027 6 ִ֛י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZK_20:15!4|MId=o260200150042|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 7-8 לָהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 ל לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_20:15!5|MId=o260200150051|Strong=3807a 8 ָהֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_20:15!5|MId=o260200150052|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9-11 בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_20:15!6|MId=o260200150061|Strong=0871a 10 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_20:15!6|MId=o260200150061ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 מִּדְבָּ֑ר מִדְבָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=wilderness|Ref=EZK_20:15!6|MId=o260200150062|Strong=4057 12-13 לְבִלְתִּי֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_20:15!7|MId=o260200150071|Strong=3807a 13 בִלְתִּי֩ בֵּלֶת ADP _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_20:15!7|MId=o260200150072|Strong=1115 14 הָבִ֨יא בּוֹא VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 4 advcl _ Gloss=to.bring|Ref=EZK_20:15!8|MId=o260200150081|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:260200050051;A0:260200150092;|Type=infinitive_construct 15-16 אוֹתָ֜ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_20:15!9|MId=o260200150091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 16 ָ֜ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_20:15!9|MId=o260200150092|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 17 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=EZK_20:15!10|MId=o260200150101|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 18-19 הָאָ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_20:15!11|MId=o260200150111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 אָ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=EZK_20:15!11|MId=o260200150112|Strong=0776 20 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=EZK_20:15!12|MId=o260200150121|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 21 נָתַ֗תִּי נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 19 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.had.given|Ref=EZK_20:15!13|MId=o260200150131|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:260200050051;A1:260200150112;|Type=qatal 22 זָבַ֤ת זוּב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 19 acl:relcl _ Gloss=flowing|Ref=EZK_20:15!14|MId=o260200150141|Strong=2100|Frame=A0:260200150112;|Type=participle_active 23 חָלָב֙ חָלָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.milk|Ref=EZK_20:15!15|MId=o260200150151|Strong=2461 24-25 וּדְבַ֔שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_20:15!16|MId=o260200150161|Strong=2050b 25 דְבַ֔שׁ דְּבַשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 conj _ Gloss=honey|Ref=EZK_20:15!16|MId=o260200150162|Strong=1706 26 צְבִ֥י צְבִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 acl _ Gloss=[is].beauty|Ref=EZK_20:15!17|MId=o260200150171|Strong=6643 27 הִ֖יא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZK_20:15!18|MId=o260200150181|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 28-29 לְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_20:15!19|MId=o260200150191|Strong=3807a 29 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=EZK_20:15!19|MId=o260200150192|Strong=3605 30-31 הָאֲרָצֽוֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 31 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_20:15!20|MId=o260200150201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 31 אֲרָצֽוֹת אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Plur 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=lands|Ref=EZK_20:15!20|MId=o260200150202|Strong=0776 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=EZK_20:15!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
